Rapid Wash
Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments that
are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a
shortened wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying time.
Large wash loads will result in the machine increasing the wash
time.
Delicate
Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle
combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle fabric
care.
■ Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
socks.
Silk
Use this cycle to clean washable silk and ultra delicate garments
(check label instructions to make sure the garment is washable.)
This cycle gently tumbles and drains with the lowest spinning to
gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will
contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle because of
the low spin action.
Rinse, Drain & Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-
speed tumbling and ex high spin speed. If desired, you can reduce
the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN
SPEED option.
Rinse is useful for:
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.
Using Drain & Spin:
1. Select Rinse, Drain & Spin cycle.
2. Deselect 2nd Rinse option.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove set-in stains on fabrics. This
cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by
drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of
the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve
the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle
treatment, even for delicate articles.
Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle
Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle once a month to keep
the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher
water level in combination with AFFRESH ® washer cleaner tablet or
chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing
machine. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”
IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle. Use this cycle
with an empty wash drum.
Normal Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses
are part of normal washer operation. See “Troubleshooting.”
Options & Modifiers
You can customize your wash by adding options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are

after the wash cycle ends. This option provides periodic tumbling
for up to 6 hours to help freshen your clothes. During this time, the

2nd Rinse
A 2nd rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent residue
from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the
same water temperature as in the normal rinse. It is automatic for
the Whites cycle. You may select or deselect by pressing 2ND
RINSE.
Max Extract™
Use this option to improve drying times for heavy fabrics or special
care items. This options final spin increases to the highest speed and
reduces excess water to save energy.
Wash Temp

water temperature, press the WASH TEMP button until the desired
setting is illuminated.
